Seafari
(and all other putting tabs on a 23)

Just wanted to let you know that I have been talking with Tab Man about the sizing of the tabs for the 23. Sent him a picture of the space available on the transom to mount the tabs and he agrees that either a 12 x 12 or the M-120(10x12) would work well and would be the most appropriate tabs given the variable degree deadrise on these boats..... Looks like I will go with the M-120!!! (like you said along time ago when we talked [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] )

Thanks Tab Man for your help…..That makes me alot happier with the smaller tab [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Hi Scott,
I just got the M-80's this week for the
20'! I saw the 120's for $373 at Boat Fix.

Thanks Chris

That the lowest price I've seen for that tab,M-120. Thats lower than I've seen for the 12x12 tab (and those tabs dont include the rocker switch as standard equip.)

Thanks again for the info..
Scott

Just to let you know I sell the M120 set for 365.00. I would upgrade to the rocker switche's. THe rocker style we sell for 56.00. I have been installing the Lenco's for 2 years now and we have not had a problem yet. And there so simple to install.

Re: Trim Tabs on a 20
 

The 20's don't have a lot of excess room in them. Considering the absense of many Lenco complaints, the electric tabs that don't require a reservoir would seem to be advantagious from a space standpoint.

Re: Trim Tabs on a 20
 

Mark, your right. It is a very simple design that works without any problems. THe motors are mounted inside the cylinder. THe cylinder is like a screw jack. Like I said I have not had a problem with about 40 installs. Very easy and fast installs with no mess.

Re: Trim Tabs on a 20
 

My installation definitely falls into the overkill
category. I installed (myself - not very difficult) a set of Kiekhafer (Mercury) model 280S
K-Planes. Dimensions are approx. 12-14" wide x
18-20" long. They fit perfectly on the outside
"step" of a 23' hull. Separate hydraulic pumps for each tab. Very strong, easily supports my weight. Also, change in ride and control I was
amazing - well worth the extra cost in my opinion.
If pictures of my installation would help anyone, let my know and I can e-mail.

Jason,In my opinion Bennet is the way to go with the rocker switch. Dont get the racing switch its not as good. I personally would'nt install Lencos. I've seen then break within months of installation and the noise are horrible, just my opinion.RS.

Chris Please E-mail them to me, I will post them on this thread.
